Treatment Space Gallery HERE
Authentic Ayurveda Body Therapeutics are a means of Clinical Treatment
They are not intended to be simply a 'spa'-like experience, but deeper therapeutic wellness prescribed per Doṣa Vikruti
Those receiving therapies are under the care and guidance of the Professional Ayurvedic Practitioner administering them
There are a growing number of Massage Therapists, Yoga Teachers and Spas completely lacking formal (or inadequate) education in Ayurveda Medical Care suggesting or offering therapies as a 'spa' experience.
Authentically, Consultation & Assessment is necessary to know medical history, symptoms or illnesses,
potential allergies and Doṣic Imbalances prior to conducting medical therapies with use of Herbal Medicine.
Without this understanding, illnesses and imbalances may be pushed deeper into the Body or Mind.
If you would like to experience the deeply therapeutic benefits of Ayurveda, Please reach me anytime with questions!
WHEN BOOKING, PLEASE BE AWARE OF CANCELLATION POLICY

Marma Therapy
Marma therapy is an ancient Indian practice of Energy Balancing
Focus is on manipulation of subtle energy (prana) in the body to support the healing process.
Marma knowledge is the basis of knowledge in acupuncture within Chinese Medicine.
Marmas are 107 vital points in the body where the life force energy is concentrated and are considered to be where the subtle body meets the physical body and consciousness - such as where the flesh, veins, arteries, tendons, bones and joints meet. Knowledge of these points allows the practitioner to influence the flow of energy and remove blockages that may be causing illness.
Therapy is given with client clothed, oiling of head and feet
Additional Focus on Hands and Feet Reflexology
May be done at anytime
Therapy includes Aromatherapy & Guided Meditation
45 Minutes $85 BOOK HERE
CHAkra Balancing
During a Ćakra balancing session, the client is fully clothed, lying on a comfortable massage table with a blanket.
For further relaxation, soft music is played and essential oils or herbal transdermal creams maybe used.
The practitioner conducts a “reading” of the Ćakras. The practitioner tests and senses which Ćakras are flowing well and those that may be too open, too closed, or possibly holding specific qualities within the Ćakra itself. Vedic Chants or Sound Healing may be added by Tibetan Bowls, Bells or Chimes as well as Native American Hand-drum or Vibrational Tank Drum. Tuning Forks may be added.
As all life around us can be influenced by intention, so too can the energetic body be influenced.
When dealing with energy, the intention to create a change, or to heal, perpetuates that thought into action.
Clients often remark about the beautiful arrangement of colors they experience during the session or the intense meditative state they fall into.
May be done at any time
All Balancing Sessions Include Aromatherapy & Guided Meditation
